Vector -Tutorial 1 From : Pure Mathematics 2&3 (Hugh Neill and Douglas Quadling)-Page 168 3. Which of these equations of straight lines represents the same straight line as each other? a)

Direction vector (a)..(f) indicates parallel but does not give any indication it is the same line. Thus the position vector of each vector equation has to be checked. ( ) Substitute points, ( ( ) which refers to a position as the following

) ( ) ( ) ( )

The following is in the above line equation : (b),(c),(d),(e),(f) Thus all are in the same straight line with either oposite or same direction but different position vector. All the equation is different.
